Lidl reviews

Fortunately, I had a manager that would protect their team but the company is very unorganized. They implement and change policy on a whim and expect everyone to fall in line immediately and execute all the changes to perfection. The demand is extremely high. There is no work-life balance. You have to be EXTREMELY detail oriented because people will use what you say in emails against you. It's best to just copy and paste from the policy to provide people with answers. You just never know who is going to through you under the bus and for what. Even if it has nothing to do with you.

First, the high turnover of executive/senior leadership is not a strong indicator that this company has a clear vision to anyone but the CEO himself. The excessive documentation, memos, and inconsistency between reporting stand in the way of actual work getting done due to arguments between management of different departments about who is more correct. The reason being promoted quickly is easy is due to the fact that there is so much turnover that if you stay beyond 1 year you are considered an “expert” in your role. Some people promoted to Management have no business being managers. Luckily, I was only stuck with a terrible manager for several months but in that time I sought professional psychiatric help because of how much stress she caused me. I did not consider Lidl a bad place to work until I had that manager and ultimately it pushed me to leave.
